Has this happened to anyone during the DAT?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Some people said it happened; you just need to check on the place. Some are lenient and let you do that whereas some wouldn't allow it. Just gotta call and ask them.
 
I am so thankful - SO THANKFUL - that the examinees did not take away my grids during the 15 minute tutorial - if they did that- I would cry.

I'm so sorry that this happened to you.

I wish for you the best - and keep your head up. Don't give up. You can do it!

Yes it was a bummer.. Every second counts on the DAT.
 
YES, stupid bitch on a power trip making me redo my sign in/ sign out signature twice because it didn't "match" and telling me I couldn't write anything down during the tutorial.... pfftt just be discrete. Writing down these things is VITAL and HELPS immensely
 
Just curious.. How can you be discrete with making 15 grids and a 0-5 cube tally grid? I have my DAT Wednesday and I've always prepped my grids first before starting the PAT. Should I just risk it and tell the proctor I was playing tic tac toe with myself because the tutorial bored me?
 
DON'T ASK permission, just when you sit down and press start for the DAT tutorial for 15 minutes start writing down everything you need for PAT/ Gchem formulas/ Biological diversity charts LMFAO.
 
just curious, would they null your test from the get go or would they just tell you to stop/give you a warning?

also, for those of you who have taken the real DAT's PAT - is the hole punching going to be as difficult as bootcamp's?
 
No, they won't void your test. They'll just give you a warning and take your paper.

Hole punch is not as hard as BC.
 
They told me explicitly that I couldnt write on my paper during the tutorial. Guess its case by case.

Go through the tutorial until you get to to the PAT section on the tutorial and make your grids.. try that and if she comes up to you and says something tell her your doing the tutorial question
 
For my break, I asked if I could go outside, and my lady said yes. I asked if there was anything I couldn't do, and she said leave the building. Confused, I asked again if I could go outside, and she said yes again. I just left it at that. There was no garden or anything like that.
